European Singles Retreat, April 2007

This afternoon I came back from the Spring ESS and there is a lot to post what I will do here the next few days. For today I only want to tell the theme: "Matching up your Life and Faith" and we heard and talked about how important it is to live authentic.

It works best if we strive for what is right in Gods eyes.
Trying to put this idea into practice it was our task (at one station of "the station game") saturday afternoon to create a poem based on Philippians 4 verse 8:

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

So here I present what I made of that:

Brothers and sisters I want you to put,

all things in your mind that are true and good.

Keep to your thoughts what is worthy of praise,

and with things that are honorable fill your days.

If you stay in the ways that are pure and right

the Lord will help you to win the fight.
